BlackMagic was the favourite Cinemaca Digital camera model for drone photographers for a few years. OCTOPUS CINEMA‘s upcoming Pocket Sized Tremendous 16 Cinema Digital camera, referred to as the OCTOPUS16, measures 80x80x50mm (3.14 x 3.14 x 1.96″) and weighs lower than 400g (0.88 lb). With these bodily parameters, it may be put in on four-rotor 10″+ FPV drones and smaller eight-rotor CineWhoops.
Hollywood wants higher high quality than a GoPro motion digicam can ship for aerial footage, however studio cinema cameras are fairly heavy and require highly effective and costly drones to raise them. For below $1000, the OCTOPUS16 appears to be an accessible answer for aerial content material creators.
The OCTOPUS16 contains a true 16-bit picture sensor, and it’s able to recording internally in 4K RAW (CDNG). They’ve managed to overclock a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 to deal with 12-bit 4K RAW with liquid warmth pipes for silent, environment friendly cooling.
The cubic-shaped digicam has a built-in LCD display screen with touchscreen controls. It has an interchangeable lens mount that additionally helps MFT lenses with using an adapter, however the native mount is a CS-mount, so you need to use very available and reasonably priced small-sized lenses. The OCTOPUS16 is meant to be powered through a USB-C energy financial institution, however it’s potential to energy it instantly from the drone’s most important battery.
